Sundry October happenings part 1

The weather was so nice for most of October! We took advantage with a fun outing to the park to feed the ducks. Over fall break we scoped out the new Scheels, and spent time in Park City with my family. It was perfect bike riding weather!

September Catch-Up

September was a busy month! I'm just now getting around to posting what we've been up to.....

We've enjoyed the fall colors this year. They've been extra vibrant it seems!

We spent a day at the Eddington cabin. The leaves were just beginning to change and the air was crisp. Matt, Landon and I went for a walk and got stuck in a rainstorm. We camped out under a tree until grandma came to rescue us!

We I enjoyed watching the Utah/BYU game! What a crazy ending!!

third time's a charm!

We spent a few days at the May cabin and the colors were out in full force! It was amazing!!

We've lived at soccer and basketball. Jackson had fun in his first year of soccer. Those Kindergarten games are nail-biters, let me tell you (haha).

Lincoln decided he wanted to play basketball instead of flag football (why?!). He's good, but got on a crappy team with an even worse coach. So, the games have been like nails on a chalkboard for me. He's having fun, though. That's all that matters I guess.....

Raphael

We have a new addition to the family. We were given a red eared slider turtle by our neighbor and the kids are in love. Raphael currently resides in the kids room and loves them, too. He gets very excited whenever anyone walks in!

We are not a pet family but we figured we could handle a turtle. So far it's been great! Pretty low maintenance, other than cleaning the tank.

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The leaves are changing on my mountain. The air is crisp in the mornings. I'm craving soups and pumpkiny treats.

Hello, Autumn.

Back to School

Well, it has begun. The homework, the carpools, the early mornings, the after school activities. Here we go!

On the first day of school I was showered and ready for the day at 7:30 am, had all my errands done by 9:30 am, and had washed and vacuumed the car by 10:30. I'm much more productive with only one rugrat around!

5th Annual Back To School Celebration


I have a love hate relationship with August. I hate the thought of the kids going back to school and all that entails, but I LOVE getting ready for our Back To School Celebration. It gets more and more fun each year!

Our family theme this year is Choose To Shine. I have loved the Mutual theme so much this year (and am so sad that I am no longer with my young women!) that I used D&C 115:5 as the inspiration.
